1. How do I rate a site?

   On the home page you can rate sites by clicking on the appropriate star rating in the white hover box which appears when you direct your mouse over each site’s thumbnail image.

   

   You may rate more than one site, but you can only rate each site once.

   The white hover box also contains a link to the site’s post page and to the comments section for that post.

   You can also vote on the post itself by clicking on the appropriate star rating which is located just under the thumbnail image.

   

2. What’s the criteria for being featured on WP-Premiums?

   The site should be based on a Premium WordPress Theme, and must be attractively customised.

   It is unlikely that a site will be selected if it looks exactly like the basic theme, with just a personalised logo in the header.

3. Why should I buy a Premium Theme?

   As the saying goes, you (usually) get what you pay for. Free themes vary very widely in terms of quality.

   Some free themes have become so popular that every other blog seems to be using them. If you want to stand out from the rest, paying a moderate amount for a Premium Theme ensures that your blog will look good, without the price tag of commissioning a completely custom theme.

   The majority of Premium Themes are created by experienced designers, who often provide support via forums and tutorials. Some designers also offer the option of paying extra for their expert customisation of your site theme.

   Most Premium Theme creators also offer free updates when they upgrade their themes. If you’re serious about blogging, a Premium Theme is definitely a step in the right direction.

4. What is WordPress?

   According to Wordpress.org,

   WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.

   Basically, WordPress is a blogging software platform which runs on self-hosted web servers. Many webhosts have a one-click installation option for WordPress, or you can install it yourself manually.

   You can also have a blog at wordpress.com, but it’s more limited in terms of functionality and themes. With a cheap hosting account and a WordPress blog you’ll find that you can run a simple blog or a complex website.
